Thurston Moore – New Single Share – ‘Mx Liberty’

Blank Editions is proud to announce the release of a very limited and hand assembled seven inch single from their Stoke Newington neighbour, Thurston Moore on the 19th of February 2018.

TRACK LISTING:

SIDE A: ‘Mx LIBERTY’

SIDE B: ‘PANIK’

‘Mx Liberty’ raises It’s torch of truth and justice, the poet Radieux Radio and Thurston Moore unleash a punk rock broadside to the current man-boys of the USA government in response to their mockery of democracy. The lyrics (included in a collage insert with the single, which also includes a pin badge) describe ‘Mx Liberty’ climbing over any and all fences with our so-called “enemies” in a radical heaven.

Thurston, with members of his London based group, Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine), James Sedwards (Nøught) and Jem Doulton (Dead Days Beyond Help), recorded the music in a studio near the early ‘70s hq of Britain’s Angry Brigade on Amhurst Road, N16. This non-violent group of anarchists, poets and writers of resistance remain a source of radical inspiration for Thurston & Radieux.

On the flip is ‘Panik’, Thurston’s cover of one of the great generation zero punk rock records of all time. Originally recorded by the legendary Metal Urbain from the 1977 streets of Paris. Burning with insolence and primal angst energy, It’s lyrics, are even more pertinent today in the face of contempo-demagoguery.

The sew single will be available from Blank Editions at their Stoke Newington Hq here:
